Apple Cookies
The Apple Cookies are a delightful fusion of crunchy nuts, sweet raisins, and juicy apple bits encapsulated in a soft, spiced cookie dough. The signature ingredient, M-K Apple Pie Spice, infuses the cookies with an aromatic warmth reminiscent of a classic apple pie.
When baked to perfection, their golden-brown hue beckons a bite, while the finishing touch of a creamy vanilla glaze adds an extra layer of sweetness. These cookies are perfect for afternoon tea, a cozy dessert on chilly evenings, or simply as a sweet treat to indulge in any time of the day.
